Darlene Gaston was a devoted Christian who loved God and did her best to live a perfect life. She tried hard to prove her worth to receive his love and favor. The church she attended had rules that did not align with the word of God, and she felt like she was performing and living a fake life. Fortunately, she received a revelation that opened her eyes to God's unconditional love and grace. Time to Really Live Free is a book that documents the lessons she learned from her revelation. Her newfound knowledge led her church to turn on her, but this did not stop her new way of living. She began to relearn what having a meaningful relationship with God meant. Her understanding of sin, forgiveness, the law, and grace were restructured, and her life of freedom in Christ began.
Time to Really Live Free is a comprehensive study of the difference between doctrine-driven and spirit-driven lifestyles. Most churches today have doctrines to keep their congregants in line with fear and class sins in different categories, which are all man-based beliefs. Darlene Gaston addresses these ideologies that kept her and her family in bondage and debunks them with Bible scriptures. Her work is well-researched, with references and original scripture definitions. The book is easy to understand and has graphs, charts, and tables that visualize what the author explains. The book also has beautiful designs and clear images that correspond perfectly with the text. I loved reading this book and recommend it to anyone who wishes to understand what it means to have freedom in Jesus.
